Any car can fail.

All is great until it's YOUR car that fails.
The chance that mine will fail this year is very low. And if it does, I'll do what I've done on 5 other cars over the last 50 years when their engines failed, replace the car or the engine. Compared to other things in life, this isn't.

I don't spend my last dollar on a car when I buy one (the last 2 Porsche's I've owned I've been the third owner and they have been at least 5 years old when I bought them) and I don't expect perfection from Porsche (my first-owner 914 taught me that all too well...probably 2 dozen dealer visits in 2 years!).

(I'm also a measured-over-a-lifetime winner at the casinos.)
